Eternity official trailer is out

Recently, the makers of Eternity released its official trailer, which runs for two minutes and 37 seconds. It opens with a guy named Larry waking up inside a train. He quickly realizes that he has passed away and it's the afterlife. He's at a junction where he has a week to decide where and with whom he would like to spend the rest of his afterlife. Joan, the person he had built his life with, is also there.

However, Joan also meets her first husband, who had died in a war several years ago. Now she has to decide with whom she would like to spend her eternity. The trailer gives a glimpse into the world that might touch upon philosophical topics like the afterlife and human bonding, among others.

When Larry tells Joan that they were together a week ago, she responds:

“Well a lot has happened in a week. You died. I died. I’ve just been reunited with both of my dead husbands, and I have to pick where to spend eternity.”

The film is written by Pat Cunnane, while Tim White and Trevor White have produced it under their banner, Star Thrower Entertainment. The film's cast members include:
